HI, readers! I'm your romantic Statistics Manager, Tucayo, here with this Valentine's Day '''Take Cover!''' special. I apologize if this section seems a bit shorter, but I have had a hectic month and haven't had much time to write! But anyway, on to the section. Romance has always been an essential part of music, and what better occasion to show some covers of love songs than in the month of love. So, ''let's get it ooon''. | HI, readers!

Our first song is a duet cover of {{wp|Extreme (band)|Extreme}}'s 1991 mega-hit, {{wp|More Than Words|''More Than Words''}}. This version of the song is performed by none other than Extreme's lead guitarist, {{wp|Nuno Bettencourt}}, and {{wp|Aerosmith}}'s {{wp|Steven Tyler}}. This performance was part of a two-song joint set at the 2014 {{wp|Nobel Peace Prize Concert}}, the second being Aerosmith's {{ShroomYoutube|DVr9e73UaMk|''Livin' on the Edge''}}. Tyler also played a great solo version of {{ShroomYoutube|4br5ARO3S20|''Dream On''}}. | Our first song is a duet cover of {{wp|Extreme (band)|Extreme}}'s 1991 mega-hit, {{wp|More Than Words|''More Than Words''}}.

Up next we have another duet cover, this time it's {{wp|Kelly Rowland}} and {{wp|Michael Bublé}} with their fantastic take on one of the most classic love songs of all time, the {{wp|Bee Gees}}' {{wp|How Deep Is Your Love (Bee Gees song)|''How Deep Is Your Love''}}. Strangely enough, no matter how hard I've looked, up to this day I haven't been able to trace the origin of this cover. Neither Bublé nor Rowland released it as a single or included it in an LP or EP, as far as I know it was not made for a soundtrack, and you can clearly hear it's a studio version so that rules out a TV show or a concert. Wikipedia's {{wp|Michael_Bublé_discography#Other_appearances|page on Michael's discography}} lists the song as appearing on an album called ''Home For Christmas'', but there is no record at all of these artists ever featuring on an album called like that. And no, it's not on Michael's {{wp|Christmas (Michael Bublé album)|''Christmas''}} album either. Maybe one day I'll find out, and when I do you'll be the first to know. But until then, the only thing I can do is enjoy the cover. | Up next we have another duet cover, this time it's {{wp|Kelly Rowland}} and {{wp|Michael Bublé}} with their fantastic take on one of the most classic love songs of all time, the {{wp|Bee Gees}}' {{wp|How Deep Is Your Love (Bee Gees song)|''How Deep Is Your Love''}}.

Oh boy, a duet trifecta! I actually hadn't noticed all the songs I had selected for this month were duets, but I guess songs are more romantic if sung by two people?? Anyway, it's {{wp|Foreigner (band)|Foreigner}} taking on their greatest hit, {{wp|I Want to Know What Love Is|''I Want to Know What Love Is''}} with {{wp|Fun (band)|fun}}'s lead singer, {{wp|Nate Ruess}}. This performance aired on ABC's {{wp|Greatest Hits (TV series)|''Greatest Hits''}}, which I watched in full as soon as I knew that was a thing. The show features acts from the past three decades covering classic hits or performing their own hit songs. So far it's only had one season but I am crossing my fingers for a second one! | Oh boy, a duet trifecta!

Director's Notes
Hello, everyone, I hope your February is going groovy!
I have some unfortunate news: Baby Luigi (talk) is resigning from Game Mods. College is super stressful, I totally get that, so I wish her all the best, and hopefully she will come back to mod some more again!
That being said, Palette Swap is now back down to two sections, the least we've had in quite a while. This is an excellent time for you to apply for a section! Have an idea that you want to try out? Send a PM to Henry Tucayo Clay (talk) with the official application filled out and a demo of your section, and we will begin your application process! You can write every month, every other month, or maybe just a one-shot every once in a while. We're willing to work with your schedule. And as always, if you'd like to submit some fanart to be featured, send me a PM with your art, and I will put it in the next issue to be featured!
Keep that in mind, and please enjoy this month's issue! ~FunkyK38

Take Cover!
Written by: Henry Tucayo Clay (talk)
HI, readers! I'm your romantic Statistics Manager, Tucayo, here with this Valentine's Day Take Cover! special. I apologize if this section seems a bit shorter, but I have had a hectic month and haven't had much time to write! But anyway, on to the section. Romance has always been an essential part of music, and what better occasion to show some covers of love songs than in the month of love. So, let's get it ooon.
To keep you in the romantic mood, I'll leave you with a terrific medley of love songs going from the 1960's to the 2010's. Enjoy.
